The 24-year-old ended four of his last five fights before going the distance.
Gabriela Fundora (8-0, 4 KO) fought on July 28 in a unanimous decision win over Lucia Hernandez Nunez in an eight-round fight. This will be the third time she is fighting at Dignity Health Sports Park, where she won the first two fights of her career.
